Robert Olsen

Psychiatrist

I earned my medical degree from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, then completed a general surgery residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso. From there, I completed my psychiatry residency at the University of New Mexico. There, I was much influenced by Jungian practitioners, gained comprehensive knowledge of what psychiatry can and cannot do, and realized that any distress can be a result of problematic reactions to stressors, both physical and psychological.

I practiced in Albuquerque for a number of years before moving to Portland to continue with Providence. My psychiatric practice experience has included outpatient pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, inpatient psychiatry, emergency psychiatry, and geriatric psychiatry.

I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I am also a fellow with the American Psychiatric Association and a member of the Oregon Psychiatric Association.

If you receive care on Breakthrough but your insurer declines coverage, you will be billed at the therapist's self-pay rate.

If you can not find a therapist who accepts your insurance, call us at 1-888-282-2522 and we will try to find a therapist who can see you.

If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a free, 24-hour hotline, at 1.800.273.8255. If your issue is an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Breakthrough does not offer crisis counseling or emergency services.
